Disclosed is a packet routing method in mobile IPv6 supporting localized mobility management. A method for routing packets between a mobile node and a destination node in a network system including the mobile node, the destination node, a home agent transferring the packets to a current location of the mobile node, and a localized mobility agent performing localized mobility management of the mobile node, includes steps of deciding whether or not to perform a handoff as the mobile node moves, transferring to the destination node a binding update including a regional care of address (RCoA) of an arbitrary address configured by receiving a prefix of a network in which a localized mobility agent (LMA) existing in an area in which the mobile node moves is located, and transferring packets to the localized mobility agent (LMA) through the RCoA by the destination node. Accordingly, the packet routings are optimized in mobile IPv6 supporting localized mobility management having a short handoff time, and a low binding update and tunneling cost.
